As you can imagine, we are hugely disappointed to have had to cancel the Festival this year as we are one of the Hampshire Medical Fund‘s most popular fund-raising events.

This year, we had hoped to support a revolutionary gynaecology clinic in Hampshire offering both investigation and treatment for women in a single hospital out-patient visit. We had hoped to buy the ground-breaking technologies needed to perform these one stop, minimally invasive surgeries, the impact of which would be far reaching for women living in Hampshire who are suffering from distressing menstrual symptoms. It was also hoped that enough funds could be raised in addition to sponsor the training of a specialist nurse to run this groundbreaking and life-changing initiative. Whilst we are disappointed that the 2020 Festival will not be going ahead, we will honour our commitment to try and achieve this in 2021.

In the meantime, we will be marking the weekend of the festival and kickstarting the fundraising with an exciting online auction. The auction has been brought together by donations from so many of the wonderful people involved in the festival and there is something in there for everyone!
